Each year the USTA Southwest annually honors the volunteers, organizations, programs and members who have done an outstanding job on the court and off to help promote our great sport. Help us nominate worthy award winners by submitting your nominations for the awards given out each year by USTA Southwest (see list below) at the USTA Southwest Annual Conference.  

Awards are given out each year during the USTA Southwest's Annual Hall of Fame and Awards Banquet.

This year's 2009 USTA Southwest Annual Meeting will be held Nov. 20-21 in Phoenix, Ariz. (at Dave & Buster's in Desert Ridge). 

Process for USTA Southwest Annual Awards:
USTA members and organizations are encouraged to nominate potential candidates for respective awards by August 15 of each calendar year (submissions sent to District after that date will be reviewed for the following year's awards).

After this date, award nominations will then be compiled and chosen by the respective District to be considered for the Section Award. Each chartered USTA Southwest District will then submit ONE nomination for each of the Southwest Section Awards (listed below to the Section office) to be considered by the USTA Section Awards Committee for the Annual Award.
